- "Microsoft expects to ship subsequent IE versions far more quickly than before, with nothing like the gap between IE 6 and IE 7, according to the company. Microsoft will solicit feedback for future IE versions at Mix '06."
Took them awhile to figure that out. Took them a Mozilla threat

- Yeah, but they haven't completely learnt, Mozilla is available on multiple platforms, subsequent IE versions will require Vista I beleive (I recall reading somewhere, that IE7 will be the last IE that will support the "older" OS's (that been XP/2k etc)...but if I'm completely wrong feel free to correct me

- u shud bear in mind that IE7 is still in beta stage ..
so removing those files will create a problem that shudn't be there at a 1st place..
reinstalling the build (not the MIX build) might do some helps
as it would recreate the uninstallation folder and files .. only my suggestion then

A Microsoft representative told me last week that the company would issue an update to IE 7 at the Mix '06 show, a conference aimed at Web developers. Also, IE developers discussed the release during a recent online chat. "The important thing about this release is that no further layout changes will be made for IE 7.0," Microsoft's Cyra Richardson noted. "[Mix '06] attendees will receive several items at the show that will allow them to better test IE compatibility. We will be striving to allow attendees to start testing with the layout complete version of IE 7."
Looking forward, Microsoft expects to ship subsequent IE versions far more quickly than before, with nothing like the gap between IE 6 and IE 7, according to the company. Microsoft will solicit feedback for future IE versions at Mix '06.
